Abstract
A method and a device for locking two implant elements to each other. A sleeve-shaped locking means (19) made of a polymeric material is arranged in a space adapted thereto inside the one element (3) which is placed in a corresponding hole (6) in the other element (1), alternatively between the two elements. The locking means (19) is subjected to compressive tightening, such that the resulting 'pressure increase' in the means yields a locking effect on the elements (1, 3).
